Getting a sense of scale
Stephen Loftus put together an image that shows you just how big AotCR/Two Betrayals are, in the context of the entire Halo ring. Pretty cool! (Louis Wu 22:46:26 UTC) (permalink)
Delay of Game
Dan Miller was kind enough to stop by with an update on the Bungie Pentathlon - it was postponed a week due to the weather in Seattle. (Wimps.) If you were waiting for a writeup this weekend, let your breath out - new challenge date is January 27! (Louis Wu 16:58:26 UTC) (permalink)

It's a Flying Vehicle Edition.
hezekiah feels chastised by my comments from last week, but it doesn't stop him from serving up some puncakes and bacon to announce the most recent Fails of the Weak (AH.com | YouTube). Some really funny fails! (Louis Wu 16:54:46 UTC) (permalink)
Stick Figures & Stat Padders
TCKaos dropped in to help answer the age-old question of which controller arrangement was better, the FightStick or the FightPad? Since both are used almost exclusively for fighting franchises such as Street Fighter and Soul Caliber, the only logical thing to do would be to test it out... in Halo. 1 v 1 style of course. The result is a couple of pretty funny videos, both from his perspective and from his opponent's. Who will win? Watch and find out! (GrimBrother One 16:50:12 UTC) (permalink)
Comparing old and new
uberfoop took a really close look at Halo Anniversary, to see how well it lives up to the goals set forth by 343. Interesting read! (Louis Wu 16:47:18 UTC) (permalink)
This Desert Plateau
Also up on Waypoint this morning is the second installment of their video series "The Halo Conflict". This week's edition looks at the conflict around and upon the Truth and Reconciliation from Halo: Combat Evolved. These fiction-focused videos are always a great watch, and can help explore angles you might not have seen before. Go and check it out! (GrimBrother One 15:49:45 UTC) (permalink)
Will the Commercials Have a Fast-talking Announcer?
Yesterday we mentioned a Halo Waypoint announcement regarding the new XBOX Live Avatar-based Halo collectibles coming from McFarlane Toys, but we forgot to mention the add the additional news that McFarlane Toys also announced yet another type of Halo collectible called "Micro-Ops". These sound very cool, as they scale down the vehicles and personnel in order to focus on some of the larger set pieces in the Halo Universe, such as the environment itself. The first series alone will give you the ability to recreate the Halo 3 map High Ground! Sounds awesome! Check out the aforementioned press release for more details. I wonder what model of Banshee they'll use... (GrimBrother One 15:35:03 UTC) (permalink)
A Fantastic Creation About Fantastic Creations
pete the duck just doesn't let up. He stopped in today to let us know that Episodes 1 & 2 of his new Forge-based reality show are now live! The first episode introduces the audience both to the overall concept of the show as well as to the contestants themselves. Episode 2 puts them to the test, and eliminates one contestant from the group. The Forge work on display is really awesome from top to bottom, and the show overall is just a really great watch. Can't wait to see the next episode, you should go and check it out! (GrimBrother One 15:29:33 UTC) (permalink)
